'RIP Kris Jenner? No, I'm talking to her now!': Kim Kardashian sets the record straight after death rumour trends on Twitter 

It can't have been pleasant for Kim Kardashian to see RIP Kris Jenner trending on Twitter.

Luckily the reality star saw the funny side - as she was chatting to her mother on the telephone at the time.

Kris became the latest famous name to be the target of a death hoax last night, joining stars such as Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen.

Kim tweeted: 'The awkward moment when 'RIP Kris Jenner' is trending yet I'm the phone with her! LOL.'

Not dead yet: Kris Jenner is just enjoying a vacation in Europe, despite speculation on twitter

Sister Khloe also tweeted: 'I think my mother has officially abandoned me LOL this woman has been yachting it up in Europe. No phone calls. Nada!'

It is not like Kris to be out of touch with her daughters, whose successful careers she micro-manages.
